According to its Statutes, SAFNA encourages all efforts towards general and complete disarmament, in particular nuclear disarmament.

It raises awareness among the larger public, including legal circles, of the dangers of nuclear weapons through publications, seminars, conferences etc.

SAFNA offers information and advice to interested persons with a view to advancing the cause of disarmament.

The approach the assocation takes is above all a legal one. SAFNA is politically and religiously neutral and places the humanitarian aspect and the victims of nuclear weapons at the center of its activities. It respects gender diversity and equality.

SAFNA supports all efforts towards the fortification of international humanitarian law, friendly settlement of disputes and the regulation of international arms trade.
